Monthly Best Buy Protection (up to 24 mo.)

Monthly Best Buy Protection is one of those things you hope you never need—but when you do, you’re glad you have it. The monthly cost is reasonable, coverage is clear, and the claims process is straightforward without unnecessary hoops. It adds real peace of mind for everyday tech, especially items that get regular use or travel with you. No surprises, no fine-print frustration—just reliable protection when something goes wrong.

We’ve had it for less than a month and so far so good. I like the larger interior; the on and off choice for the turntable; three levels of light brightness; the selections are popcorn, potato, veggies, oatmeal, beverage dinner plate, cook, reheat, defrost, soft, melt and warm. Our last microwave was a Whirlpool also and I like this brand. I also like the soft chime vs loud buzz when food is ready. We compared multiple microwaves and this was the best choice for our budget. The fact that it was on sale didn’t hurt either.

I usually never buy the additional protection but this time I did and it’s been well worth it! The store personnel explained how it works and I was sold!

While the unit is cheap, it does have some draw backs. The has a metal heating element like the older washers, while it can get hotter than current washers, it already melted several thick plastic pieces we needed washing like from our food processor. It’s loud and smells like plastic which makes our dishes smell like plastic as well. To be honest, our builder grade washer was so much better. Recently the main spinner thing which washes the bottom rack of dishes popped off in mid cycle and landed on the heating element and melt it into 2 pieces. Service call will determine if buying this unit 7 months ago will cover this repair.

Best Buy protection is the only way to go. We have purchased every single one of our appliances in our home including our coffee maker. Protection covers everything and worth every penny. We have recommended our son who is building a house to start this when the purchases start for all his major appliances
